Internuclear ophthalmoplegia in Fabry's disease.
A 16-year-old boy with Fabry's disease had sudden onset of diplopia unassociated with any other neurologic symptoms. A right internuclear ophthalmoplegia characterized by optokinetic phenomena and ocular dysmetria was demonstrated. The diplopia resolved spontaneously in six weeks. This is the first reported case of internuclear ophthalmoplegia occurring with Fabry's disease and represents one of the youngest patients to have unilateral internuclear ophthalmoplegia presumably caused by vascular occlusive disease.
